Check understanding
- Describe at least two ways another child's life experience might differ significantly from their own
- Explain why it's important not to judge someone based on their circumstances
- Suggest a kind action they could take to help someone facing a difficult situation
“If a new child joins your child's class who doesn't speak much English or whose family situation is very different, does your child show understanding and try to include them rather than avoiding them?”
